Day 1815 – Kayaking Down The Gunpowder River

Today we did a super long kayaking trip down the Gunpowder River. We put in at Falls Road and floated all the way down to Sparks Road! The whole trip took about 7 hours (including a stop at Monkton Station for lunch). It was so peaceful and a wonderful bonding experience. If you kayak, I highly recommend this route!

Day 1814 – Bengies Drive In Date

Tonight, after Bret got home from work, he asked me out on a date! It was so last minute, but I’m so glad he did! Summer Bret has been awesome! This has been the first summer in the memory of our marriage where we’ve had a REAL summer. Most of the time, he’ll finish school and jump right into working a million hours.

Anyways, we saw Maleficent and the new Transformers. Both movies were really really awesome! We sat in the back of the truck to watch. What a blast! If you are in Maryland, you gotta check out Bengies in Middle River!

Day 1811 – Surprise Date And Getting Caught In The Rain

Last night after volunteering at Vacation Bible School at our church, we decided to go on a random date to Bellisimo’s in Bel Air. We got a few beers and appetizers and just chatted about life. It’s amazing how you can be with a person for 7 years and still find things to talk about and still have fun together.

After our meal, we went outside and it was POURING rain. So what did we do? Danced and hugged in the rain of course! It was such a blast! I’m so grateful for a husband who likes the rain like I do! 🙂
